Sissoko is contracted to the Toon until June 2019 but could be tempted by an immediate move back to the Premier League with Liverpool rather than fighting for promotion in the Championship next season.

Many Liverpool fans hope Sissoko will make the move to Anfield as his style of play would suit their midfield.

One supporter even made the bold statement saying that he would take Sissoko over current Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson.

However, the wide man has been criticised for his lack of consistency at the top level, but a Liverpool fan felt that their manager could help him achieve the consistency he requires.

Here are some of their reactions on Twitter:

Sissoko had a good game & any team will be lucky to have him (Wouldn't mind him at #LFC) but he's no Pogba. Not even the same type of player
